I partner with companies to implement and improve business management processes. My focus areas are Integrated Business Planning (Advanced S&OP), Integrated Planning and Control (essential planning practices for a competitive supply chain), Demand Management, and Master Data Management.I am in my second year of service on our Board of Directors as well as fulfilling the role of Program Manager for our Integrated Business Planning suite of offerings.

Merck KGaA acquired CN Biosciences and my experience continued to grow. Over this period, I managed teams of scientists, product packaging specialists, the warehousing and distribution team, and the North American planning organization. The experience significantly broadened my understanding of supply chain and operations. After supporting our production planning, materials management, and distribution organization through a roll out of SAP, my hands-on experience merged with more formal education in business planning when I sought outside help to implement Sales & Operations Planning across our unique North American business units. I led a successful implementation of S&OP with the support of Oliver Wight (case study attached) and, unbeknownst to me at the time, laid the foundation for a rewarding new career.

After Novagen, Inc was acquired by CN Biosciences, my responsibilities and teams grew. I gained tremendous experience working in teams to successfully bring two organizations together, both culturally and operationally. I also expanded my hands-on experience in supply planning, distribution planning, and ERP systems.

I started off doing bench-top manufacturing of biotech products and ultimately became responsible for manufacturing and warehouse teams in a growing biotech company. We all 'wore a lot of hats' in this environment and it was an excellent place to begin my career. Entrepreneurial and exciting along with great leadership and opportunities to make a high impact. During this time that, I began to develop my hands-on experience in supply planning, inventory management, and supporting tools (ERP).
